Download tools

Command line tools, e.g. python -m msp430.gdb.target. They can up and donwload memory of MSP430 targets.

• msp430.jtag.target JTAG interface

• msp430.bsl.target F1x, F2x, F4x BSL

• msp430.bsl5.uart F5x, F6x BSL (non-USB devices)

• msp430.bsl5.hid F5x, F6x BSL (USB devices)

• msp430.gdb.target Using a GDB proxy (TCP/IP connection).

Other tools

• msp430.memory.convert Convert between hex file formats

• msp430.memory.dco Measure or calibrate the DCO clock

• msp430.memory.compare Compare two hex files

• msp430.memory.hexdump Show contents of hex files

• msp430.memory.generate Create hex files with a defined pattern. Can be used for testing or to create underlays for other binaries (e.g. to fill unused memory with “NOPs” or “JMP $”)

• msp430.memory.downloader Small program, suitable for file associations, so that double clicking an ELF or a43 file can be used to download via JTAG.

• msp430.asm.as, msp430.asm.ld, msp430.asm.cpp: An assembler, linker and preprocessor for MSP430(X)

• msp430.asm.disassemble

Description of Python library

msp430

Root package for the Python modules related to the MSP430.

msp430.asm

A simple assembler and linker, also a disassembler, supporting MSP430(X).

msp430.bsl

Support for the boot strap loader. msp430.bsl.target is the main module for the downloader.

msp430.bsl5

Support for the boot strap loader of F5xx/F6xx devices. msp430.bsl5.hid is the main module for the downloader for F5xx USB devices and msp430.bsl5.uart for all others.

msp430.jtag

JTAG tools using the MSP430[mspgcc] library. msp430.jtag.target is the main module for the downloader.

msp430.gdb

Communicate with a GDB server/proxy. msp430.gdb.target is the main module for the downloader.

msp430.memory

Memory implementation, used to store an memory image used to download to the MSP430. File format handlers are here too. Interesting submodules are: - convert - compare - hexdump - generate

msp430.shell.commands

Shell commands, useful for makefiles etc.

msp430.shell.watch

Watch a file for changes and execute a command in that case.

msp430.listing

Parser for listing files.

msp430.legacy

Support code for older tools.
